LLNL’s research campus realignment criteria for innovation, productivity, recruitment

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s strategic site plan is advancing innovation strategies through phased space repurposing, consolidation, and new construction on the sprawling 73-year research campus. Jennifer Hopping and Nathan Benedict set out LLNL’s vision for facilities and infrastructure that push the frontiers of science and technology in a rapidly changing world, and the pragmatic decisions being made to reconcile cost, existing conditions, specialized facility requirements, collaboration, and critical adjacencies. They set new targets for space utilization, efficiency, and flexibility, and implementation results to-date. They also examine planned investments aimed at employee well-being, recruitment, and retention.
